Second Baptist School Reviews

Second Baptist School is a thriving school, full of exuberant students with equal passions to succeed. For over 75 years of educating students Pre-k through 12th grade, this school is founded on three key principles: think critically, live biblically, and lead courageously. For the the first 2 weeks of my education at this school, I see that it has lived up to this passion 200%! The staff are your closest friends. The teachers are loving and caring, having a true passion to teach students and educate them Intellectually and spiritually, while also implementing fun to their teaching. The counselors and head counselors are the best: they make sure a student is comfortable with these classes, giving them insight on the rigor and grading of each class. But best of all, the counselors give guidance on the college application process, helping students maximize their full potential in creating wise and properly structured applications to submit to the top schools of the United States.

Review Second Baptist School

Second Baptist school welcomes you, encourages you, and prepares you. I came in as a freshman and all the teachers, administrators, and students welcomed me with open arms. The teachers helped me with the curriculum of a new school, the administrators helped me adapt to a new system, and some of the students I first met are now my closest friends. Second of all, Second Baptist encourages students in academics, extra curricular activities, and our walk with God. The teachers make it clear that they are there to help us, and are understanding with what we are struggling with. We also are encouraged to participate in various activities. Whatever you are passionate about, whether that be in the area of athletics or the arts, they have an activity/class available for you to master and expand your God-given talent. The Bible classes and the chapels are designed for us to grow and learn more about God. Lastly, SBS prepares us for our next step in life. I love Second Baptist!

With its focus on bringing students into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and servant leadership, SBS has positively shaped me into the leader I am today. My teachers and mentors have modeled how to think critically, live biblically, and lead courageously. The teachers and staff truly care about each and every student's success both in and out of the classroom. SBS also offers a myriad of extracurricular activities that students are encouraged to get involved in! As one of my classmates likes to say, "this is not a stay-in-your-lane type of school;" you can get involved in any and all activities that you want to.
